An interview with Travis Scott

Interviewer- Hi Travis, first of all I want to say that I think you´re a great artist, I love your songs! So, where are you from? Travis Scott- I’m American and I come from Texas. Interviewer-Why did you start creating hip hop songs? Travis Scott- Because I thought it was a good way to express my ideas and my feelings and also because it’s a very popular kind of music and it helps me to tell my messages to more people.

Interviewer-And what are your messages, what are your songs and popular videoclips about?
Travis Scott- My songs and my videoclips talk about my problems, my generation, the way we live, our frustrations, the “urban jungle” and that’s how I express my feelings.
Interviewer-Many people must feel like you, because you’re very popular. How is it to deal with so much popularity? Do you live well with it?
Travis Scott- Sometimes it’s hard. I want to live my life, have freedom and do all the things that all people do. But wherever I go, there is always a reporter, people around me trying to get an autograph. Basically, I don’t have much privacy. But I like to be a famous artist, because it means I reach lots of people and that’s really good.
Interviewer-Indeed! It was very nice talking to you, to know more about you and your songs. I wish the best to you and your carrear!
Travis Scott-It was very nice to meet you too! Thank you very much!

I was very pleased to do it, because expresses the perfect proportions, the idea of perfection.

Music Across Europe

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” – Plato

Music is the soundtrack of our lives and in fact 82.4 of the students in the project listen to music” always”, and it is not a joke because we listen to it(72.6) also when we are doing our homework. Many of us (58.8) can play an instrument mostly the piano, but we have some guitarists and one men show -piano, flute, and guitar that’s a lot for sure.We like Pop music , but classic(11.8) is not bad, we like also jazz, rap and rock . We like our anthem ( 82.4) and we consider it really important. Music makes us feel happy, relaxed, emotional and energetic a mixture of emotion that’s why music is so important for us. If we would decide to start a band it would be a pop/rock band quite for sure.

We have so many favourite songs that ‘s really difficult to choose one.We listen the radio , and the music we like is sang in English. We think that music can help make world peace because “music is the key to everything” , “ music can change people’s opinion” and “ can help to communicate “ “tell us a message and help spreading it “ so music has the power to find the right way.
